The first project
carry me back was born in the beautiful pristine mountains of the Khumbu region.
In November 2019, we piloted the system and 2,500 trekkers transported bags containing 1 kg of shredded waste from Namche Bazaar to Lukla Airport.
Since spring 2022, we have restarted the program and we will expand the pick up stations across the Sagarmatha National Park and other regions in Nepal.

Would you like to implement carry me back in your region?
Our efforts do not finish in the Khumbu region. We aim to replicate this model in other mountain areas across Nepal and the rest of the world. If you would like to know how, get in touch with us.
